Key to a Promotion?
Be related to the DMs friends or their inner circle. Holier than thou, sanctimonious sc-m of the earth. Slam, cram, brown nose and lie your way to the top and when HR asks, put the blame on anyone that calls you out.

Verizon CEO admits to and apologized for huge pricing mistake

AI Customer Service Agents

Verizon needs to divest businesses without high margins
Happy former 30 year employee and current interest is only as an investor. Verizon needs to become a pure play Consumer focused company Wireless/Internet. Parts are worth more than the sum. Verizon Business would be one example. Sell it and other... — read more
Mass Corporate Retail Closures Incoming

Verizon needs to reidentify
We have identified as phone gross adds for years. Thats all the investors can see is additional income vs churned income. It greatly effects the companies numbers. We need a change from that sort of idealogy. All kept customers in the network matters... — read more
Maybe Verizon should start listening and not firing their Engineers to save a buck..
The crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX planes which claimed the lives of 346 people on board and how Boeing may have been more concerned with financial gain over the safety of their passengers. Guess what they didn't listen to their Engineers and the same... — read more

Rehiring rif’d positions already…
So 13,000+ people were fired in December and in January those very roles are now open roles?! Talk about a slap in the face! V2B is hiring AD’s and supervisors and reps but got rid of them for the holidays. Bait & Switch at its finest.
December Retail Commissions
With the target being so high did anyone make a decent check?
Verizon Under Investigation for DEI
